The Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission held numerous public hearings. Since the last redistricting, voters in Colorado, Michigan, New York, Utah and Virginia have created redistricting commissions — nearly doubling the number of states with them. State Senate President Matt Huffman, a Republican, said earlier this month that he was unfamiliar with the citizens commission. In Missouri, a bipartisan commission responsible for redrawing state House districts deadlocked repeatedly this month over who should be chair. Maryland’s Democratic-dominated U.S. House districts and Wisconsin’s largely Republican state Assembly districts often are cited as some of the most gerrymandered nationally.
